Summary

Wes-Del Middle/Senior High School is a public school in Gaston, Indiana, serving grades 6–12 with 435 students as part of Wes-Del Community Schools. It is a mid-tier, improving school: its 2025–2026 rank of 171st of 415 schools (59th percentile, 3 stars) is above its own district's standing and far above where it sat in 2018–2019 (21st percentile). Because the school includes middle grades, its "all grades" test results cover 6th–8th graders as well, so they are not a perfect match for nearby 9–12 high schools.

Two areas stand out positively. Graduation is a clear strength at 98.0% in 2024–2025, above the state's 89.7% and similar to Madison-Grant Junior/Senior High School (98.8%) and Yorktown High School (97.9%), and much higher than Daleville Junior-Senior High School (78.6%), which has the same enrollment but stronger test scores and attendance. Biology also shines: the Biology end-of-course exam was 56.25%, higher than Daleville, Madison-Grant, Alexandria-Monroe High School, Delta High School, and Yorktown. Low-income students ranked in the 67th percentile — above the school's overall 59th percentile.

The main concerns are attendance and math. Chronic absenteeism was 21.7% in 2024–2025, above the state (16.7%) and district (18.0%), and far above Daleville (8.3%) and Yorktown (7.8%). Math proficiency has trailed the district every recent year (24.4% vs 38.92% in 2025–2026), SAT Math remained low at 20.45%, and SAT reading/writing fell to 36.36% from 45.76% the prior year, below the state's 51.9%. Context matters: 57.7% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — the highest among conventional nearby schools — with per-student spending of $13,656 and a moderate 13.5 student–teacher ratio.
